LGBT Rehab

Until recently, LGBT Rehabs didn’t exist. However, sad as it is, Gay and bisexual men seem to suffer from substance abuse disorders at twice to three times the rate of that of the normal population. While all of the LGBT population is more prone to suffer from addiction and related disorders, many end up in treatment that may not address underlying and specific issues crucial to ensuring continuing sobriety.

LGBT Rehabs: How are they different?

LGBT Rehabs are designed to address these sensitive areas, including psychological, body image, and societal issues. Attending substance abuse treatment for gay men with peers provides a safe setting away from the pressures and prejudices that are often factors in their addiction to begin with. A good LGBT Rehab and LGBT friendly rehabs should include group and one-on-one therapy, along with culturally competent medical care that considers the needs specific to the LGBT community.

Providing a safe place for healing

While lifestyle partially accounts for the increased substance abuse and health threats, it is also social and structural inequities that contribute as well. This is especially true of LGBT teens which is why LGBT youth drug treatment is important. Privacy and a safe place for identifying underlying psychological issues while learning healthier responses can be quite beneficial to the healing process. Support is crucial to maintaining recovery, so community-based aftercare options should be part of any good LGBT rehab.
